Re: CBS/TBS making joint bid to cover the 96-team March Madness

My problem with ESPN taking over the tournament would be the obvious audio disappointment in every single analyst and broadcaster's voice everytime an ACC or Big East school lost. The rooting for those two conferences is absolutely apparent everytime they cover basketball.

Outside of that, their coverage would be the best.

Assuming we could make a 156-team field...

The NCAA Board of Governors will supposedly vote on it 4/29. I presume the CBS/TNT bid is based on a 96-team scenario. Let's hope the Board of Governors vote against expansion and tell the bidders to resubmit but I doubt that happens. Using last season's results, it's sickening to think that a team like TX Tech can be in the NCAA tournament with a 4-12 conference record or North Carolina with a 5-11 record.

I read where over 80% of fans polled are against tournament expansion but it appears they are going to jam it down our throats. Then you have a vast majority of fans wanting a college football playoff of some kind and we don't see it and probably won't for several years.
